“Gotham” Wraps Filming Its Final Season

Filming on the fifth and final season of FOX’s “Gotham” is wrapping up and with it comes a time for the cast to say goodbye to each other.

One of the stronger relationships within the show is that of David Mazouz’s Bruce Wayne and Sean Pertwee’s Alfred Pennyworth which has been more of a paternal one, by necessity, than other incarnations of the relationship in past “Batman” adaptations. Mazouz has now shared a touching post celebrating their final days working together. He says:

“Today marks the very last time I will work with this man on Gotham. It’s hard for me to know what to say. Sometimes I feel like Sean knows me better than I know myself. He always knows what I’m thinking and feeling, always making sure I’m ok, which I think is a testament to how close our relationship has been over the last third of my life.

And over those five years, I’ve learned what it means to be a gentleman, professional, and unabashedly talented from this man. I am sad my days with him (on Gotham) have come to an end but I am eternally grateful for my experience with him and happy for the people who will be recipients of his light next. Thanks Sean.”

Additionally, the cast has assembled for one last publicity photo together for the new season. TV Line published the shot which limits the casting to series regulars that have been there from early on. “Gotham” will return to screens January 3rd.
